بَابُ يُحْثَى فِي وُجُوهِ الْمَدَّاحِينَChapter: Throwing Dust in the Faces of Those Who Praise Excessively
Hadith 341
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ، عَنْ مِحْجَنٍ الأَسْلَمِيِّ قَالَ رَجَاءٌ: أَقْبَلْتُ مَعَ مِحْجَنٍ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ حَتَّى انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى مَسْجِدِ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ، فَإِذَا بُرَيْدَةُ الأَسْلَمِيُّ عَلَى بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ جَالِسٌ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ: سُكْبَةُ، يُطِيلُ الصَّلاَةَ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ، وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدَةٌ، وَكَانَ بُرَيْدَةُ صَاحِبَ مُزَاحَاتٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا مِحْجَنُ أَتُصَلِّي كَمَا يُصَلِّي سُكْبَةُ؟ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ مِحْجَنٌ، وَرَجَعَ، قَالَ: قَالَ مِحْجَنٌ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي، فَانْطَلَقْنَا نَمْشِي حَتَّى صَعِدْنَا أُحُدًا، فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ: ”وَيْلُ أُمِّهَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ، يَتْرُكُهَا أَهْلُهَا كَأَعْمَرَ مَا تَكُونُ، يَأْتِيهَا الدَّجَّالُ، فَيَجِدُ عَلَى كُلِّ بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِهَا مَلَكًا، فَلاَ يَدْخُلُهَا“، ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلاً يُصَلِّي، وَيَسْجُدُ، وَيَرْكَعُ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”مَنْ هَذَا؟“ فَأَخَذْتُ أُطْرِيهِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَذَا فُلاَنٌ، وَهَذَا. فَقَالَ ”أَمْسِكْ، لاَ تُسْمِعْهُ فَتُهْلِكَهُ“، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ يَمْشِي، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ حُجَرِهِ، لَكِنَّهُ نَفَضَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: ”إِنَّ خَيْرَ دِينِكُمْ أَيْسَرُهُ، إِنَّ خَيْرَ دِينِكُمْ أَيْسَرُهُ“ ثَلاثًا.
It is narrated from Raja’ (may Allah have mercy on him) that one day I came to the mosque of the people of Basra with Sayyiduna Mihjan Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him), and at one of the doors, Sayyiduna Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting. Raja’ says that there was a man in the mosque who was called Sakbah, who used to perform very long prayers. When we reached the door of the mosque, Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting wrapped in a cloak, and he had a humorous and playful nature, so he said: “O Mihjan! Will you pray like Sakbah?” Hearing this, Sayyiduna Mihjan (may Allah be pleased with him) did not reply and returned. Then Sayyiduna Mihjan (may Allah be pleased with him) said that once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took my hand and we kept walking until we climbed Mount Uhud. From there, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw Madinah Tayyibah, so he turned towards it and said: “This town will be in a bad state when its inhabitants leave it at a time when it is flourishing. Dajjal will come to it, and he will find an angel at every one of its gates, so Dajjal will not be able to enter it.” After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) descended from the mountain until we entered the mosque, where he saw a man praying, performing bowing and prostration. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me: “Who is this?” I began to praise him greatly. I said: O Messenger of Allah! This is so-and-so, so-and-so. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Stop, do not let him hear it, otherwise you will destroy him.” After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) continued walking until he reached the apartments, then he dusted off his hands and said: “The best deed of your religion is that which is easiest. The best deed of your religion is that which is easiest.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said this three times.
